Artesian Flow Valued at Williams County Ranches
The discovery on U. L. Burdick’s farm near Williston yields a four inch artesian flow at 655 feet with water rising 30 feet. J. W. Barrett, a veteran driller, believes similar wells can be found along the river valley where altitude stays low. The warm, non freezing stock water boosts winter feeding efficiency and reduces ice removal, aiding the region’s stock-raising district.
